As a matter of fact, there are several apartments vacant right now. People don't want to move this time of the year. Man, what I would give to have another ally in this land of woowoo. Someone actually introduced me recently as "our token atheist."

Cooked a lot today, a pork roast, a loaf of bread and endless loaves of pumpkin bread for a neighbor who wants to give it to all her friends. Tomorrow I'll cook endless loaves of cranberry bread as gifts for my friends, and make pork enchiladas for a dinner Monday night with friends. Tuesday I'll be passing out gifts to neighbors -- everyone gets homemade jam and cranberry bread. Wednesday a pot luck dinner -- I'm making dressing for the turkey.
So, a little cooking after all. The apartment smells good and I get to work off some holiday steam!
Mmmmm, bloody Marys. Maybe I'll make a pitcher of those, too.

I worked with some hard-core pioneers who didn't count time all the way through. They started time at the first door, and stopped counting time at the last door. I was an idiot I see now -- I could have counted the coffee breaks, the drive to the first house, etc. Would have made an appallingly boring and horrible life a little easier. I don't remember how long I pioneered, but I remember how awful it was.

My Story Part One....My mother's wild hair.
by Giordano inmy mother had a wild hair one day and decided to study with the jw's.
so after being a catholic for my first 12 years we were now apostates............ though neither she nor i realized it at the time.. i think what appealed to my mother was that the two sisters she studied with were very 'refined' they were also nicely dressed and very 'clean'.
i had no idea what the hell she was talking about.

Oh, I forgot. I would use the juices from the chicken to make gravy for the biscuits. I've gotten used to having less starchy stuff at a meal -- one starchy thing such as biscuits is enough -- but you could add mashed potatoes, rice or sweet potatoes if you like.

I'm not cooking any holiday dinners this year. It makes me slightly sad. So, here, you can vicariously enjoy the meal I'd like to fix for Christmas.
